r|shaders user interface is simple and will expose complex procedurals network to the artist thought “natural” parameters.

With r|shaders, users can simulate a lot of natural surfaces using sigle shader or mixing more of it to create, for example, some snow area at cold temperature that can seems like ice. Rendering time, even at high resolutions, are generally very low.

Actually it is compatible with Scanline Render and Mental Ray, plus general support for 3rd party products like V-Ray, FinalRender, Brazil R/S and NodeJoe/Slate.

r|shaders core zero is a scripted plug-in written using MAXScript. Core Zero release will be followed by Core Next release that will be written using MetaSL, to be used natively in Mental Ray, to add more complex features like new and more realistic procedural algorithms, realtime visualization, etc.etc.
